LED-Wiz & Mala Help
« on: May 14, 2007, 04:25:56 pm »
Hi all, for the last few days I've been trying to figure out how to get my LED-Wiz's to work again after upgrading my computer but have had no luck.  Here is a little background info:

I have a 4 player control panel that is using 3 LED-Wiz controls.  All RGB-LED's were installed AND WORKING via the LED-WIZ Configurator Mala plugin on my old Mame computer (a Dell 933 MHZ).  I decided to upgrade my personal computer and as part of that process wanted to replace my Mame computer with my old personal computer.  That would give me a 2.6 GHz Celeron Mame PC, which is very nice, yah. 
I've managed to get the Mame command line version working, all the games I've tested run as they should.  I have installed Mala as my FE and can pull up games from Mala and play them successfully.  My next step was to download the LED-Wiz Configurator plug-in for Mala and get my LED's back up and running.  For the life of me I cannot get one single RGB-LED to work (nothing lights up whatsoever) as I set the properties in LED-Wiz configurator.  It was all working on my old Mame PC so I am a little lost why it won't work with the new computer setup.  I haven't changed any wiring so I don't think that would be the issue.  When I remove the USB cable from a LED-Wiz it does give me the old Windows ding-dong signifying that it is recognizing the LED-Wiz USB device.  The 3 LED-Wiz devices are getting power from the PC power supply.  All three power wires are connected together and one wire feeds back to the PC power supply, there is a 2A in-line fuse in that single wire to the PC power supply.
In the LED-Wiz Configurator plugin I've checked the Options and all the 'Light ...' check boxes are selected.  On the main screen I am clicking the checkbox of the individual buttons, selecting the LED-Wiz 1, choosing RGB and setting the R,G, and B to inputs that are wired on the LED-Wiz.  Yet no lights...

Are there troubleshooting steps I can take to see what is going wrong with the LED-Wiz's?  My only guesses at this point are that either my mobo (I believe its an MSI 651M) is having USB issues or I somehow zapped the LED-Wiz's or I am missing something obvious.

Anyone have any thoughts or ideas?

Have you installed the OCX (with the installer provided with the Led-Wiz plug-in) ?
